>>>At the least, you have to apply the percentages against each other and they become progressively smaller. If you extract recent immigrants out of the minimum wage demographics, the percentages become even lower.<<< Why extract out recent immigrants? That would tell us what? Are recent immigrant working minimum wage somehow less "deserving" of being counted? >>>All you're doing is zeroing out factors if you don't like them, and assuming 100% conformity with your objective if they meet at least 50% on a single sub-demographic.<<< Hardly, I'm questioning assumptions about the characteristics of the population at hand by comparing data categories. And I didn't need to cite a bogus study that defines-away adults as "children." Come on now. Pot-kettle-black my friend. The urls CB posted have some interesting figures. I'm data mining. >>>I don't want to argue rhetoric with you anymore since that's all you seem to want to do.<<< That's how this kind of thing is done and unfortunately it's often supported by dueling data, skewed studies, etc. It's messy and infuriating. >>>I think you've flatlined.<<< If I've "flatlined" you are "less" than capable of holding up your end of the debate.
